Icom AP-12 instruction manual About a MAC address

■Bridge mode B (Client Mode) Connects wireless LAN terminal or the AP-12 (2) connected LAN system via the AP-12 (1) in access point mode.

-Only the AP-12 works as the access point.

-Register the desired AP-12’s MAC address, prior to communication, with AP-12 (2) when two or more AP-12’s operating in access point mode are available.

■Bridge mode C (Multi-site) Connects two or more wired LAN via the AP-12.

-It is not necessary to register the MAC address and communicate with other AP-12s easily.

-To avoid communication speed slow down, it is recommended to use up to 10 AP-12’s only during heavy traf- fic.

■About a MAC address

A MAC address is described on the serial number seal. (See the figure at right)

In bridge mode A, you need to register your MAC address to the wireless devices with which you communicate.

In bridge mode B, register the desired wireless LAN device’s MAC address prior to communication with your AP- 12.

The AP-12’s MAC address can be checked with [AP-12 Manager] also.
